Question of the Week
3 March 2010
Third Sunday in Lent "Merciful and gracious is
the Lord,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness."
- Psalm 103:8
Daily Readings
Sunday Scripture Readings and Gospel:
Luke
13:1-9
Reflection: Jesus seemed to
feel Israel was not bearing the "Fruit" of the truth of God.
The "fruit" is our Spirit and we need mercy and time. What
"fruit" do we bear for out Lord? Jesus shows us patience and
mercy even when we become spiritually empty or lost. He will
wait for us, but we must care for ourselves and tend to our
spiritual garden.
Reflective
Question: How can I
graciously accept what I need to prune in my life?
Faith
Response: I will set aside
special time to welcome the quiet and stillness so my Spirit can be
replenished. I will be grateful for the things God has given
me.
